Last Snowy Commute for a While?

Mother's Day weekend is, from what I've heard and observed in my almost 17 years living in the great state of Colorado, usually when we get the last snow storm for the season.

Right on schedule, it started snowing on Sunday, but it didn't amount to much accumulation that day.

This Monday morning, the snow was kind of sticking to the streets but it still wasn't much accumulation in the suburbs where I live. There was perhaps two inches on the driveway as I backed Scarlett, my 2014 URAL Patrol Sidecar Rig, out of the garage.

The commute in was slushy and wet but not icy which is always a bonus. Traffic was lighter than normal as well which was surprising for a Monday but I wasn't complaining.

It was starting to snow heavier as I neared downtown Denver so I detoured for a set of pictures in Denver's City Park.

The rest of the drive in was fine, the snow continued to fall heavily but it was not very windy so the snow flakes didn't sting when they hit my face as I walked from the parking garage.
